Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Independent Living for Physically Disabled People was the first book to provide a comprehensive picture of the philosophy and services of independent living in the United States. It provided a beacon, usable by rehabilitation professionals and consumers, who were striving to create a path to full community integration. In the years since its publication, the independent living movement has flourished, centers have been built, and many consumers have assumed their right to make decisions regarding their own lives. Still, the foundation provided by the authors of this book continues to be useful and relevant in the new millennium. Authors, including Gerben DeJong, Lex Frieden, Denise Tate, Frank Bowe, Raymond Lifchez, Irving Zola, and Susan Stoddard describe such topics as the independent living paradigm, legislation and community organization, diverse program models, supportive environments, technology, key IL services, program evaluation, and prospects for the future.

Fortunately, most people recover from their injuries and regain full independence. Others, however, are not as lucky.

Although these individuals may never be able to go without help, they can learn to manage their care, allowing a greater degree of independence. Toward this end, the disabled individual must learn how to find, hire and keep those paid to assist them: the Personal Care Attendant. The book's author, June Price, has required personal care assistance since birth due to spinal muscular atrophy, a rare neuromuscular disease. Since moving into her first apartment in 1980, she has maintained an independent lifestyle. Her experience managing part-time and live-in help is documented in this clear, concise guide.

Download or read book Home Care Fault Lines written by Cynthia J. Cranford and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2020-06-15 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this revealing look at home care, Cynthia J. Cranford illustrates how elderly and disabled people and the immigrant women workers who assist them in daily activities develop meaningful relationships even when their different ages, abilities, races, nationalities, and socioeconomic backgrounds generate tension. As Cranford shows, workers can experience devaluation within racialized and gendered class hierarchies, which shapes their pursuit of security. Cranford analyzes the tensions, alliances, and compromises between security for workers and flexibility for elderly and disabled people, and she argues that workers and recipients negotiate flexibility and security within intersecting inequalities in varying ways depending on multiple interacting dynamics. What comes through from Cranford's analysis is the need for deeply democratic alliances across multiple axes of inequality. To support both flexible care and secure work, she argues for an intimate community unionism that advocates for universal state funding, designs culturally sensitive labor market intermediaries run by workers and recipients to help people find jobs or workers, and addresses everyday tensions in home workplaces.
